How to teach 1, 2, 3 letter words, dyslexic kids aged 5-10+

Help a dyslexic child improve reading and writing by building a strong foundation in English.

Children who can read, write and spell basic words will find it easier to learn new information.

If a dyslexic child has gaps in their learning, start by helping them relearn basic words before introducing more difficult tasks.

Rocky Foundations Card

Use the ‘Rocky Foundations’ card below to help a dyslexic child learn basic words and build strong foundations.

This card from Mooki Cards is based on scientific research, “Reading Development & dyslexia”.

Struggling with rocky foundations

Read how having rocky foundations in reading and writing affected the Dyslexic Mum when learning at school:

As a child, I struggled at school with learning to read and write. My teacher used to say the more you read, the better your writing and spelling will be. Well, I read, I loved reading, yet never became any better.

The problem with my learning was that I had never mastered the basics of reading and writing. I had rocky foundations, my knowledge of basic two, three letter words was patchy. This made it harder for me to learn new things.”

When using the Rocky Foundations card with a dyslexic child, look for any gaps in their learning.
